Re:

Goodwin v. Sergeant Percili, et al.
Civil Action No. 17-13368 (ES) (MAH)

Dear parties:
On November 22, 2019, the Honorable Michael A. Hammer, United States Magistrate
Judge, issued an Order to Show Cause directing plaintiff Michael J. Goodwin (“Plaintiff”) to
“show cause, in writing . . . why his complaint should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute it
under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41, for failure to comply with [various Court Orders].” (D.E. No. 27 at 2).
After Plaintiff failed to timely respond to the Order to Show Cause, Judge Hammer issued
a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the Court dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint without
prejudice for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 41(b). (D.E. No. 29 (“R&R”)). Magistrate
Judge Hammer provided the parties fourteen days to file and serve objections to the R&R pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Civil Rule 72.1(c)(2). The parties did not file any objections.
The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Hammer’s R&R, and for the reasons stated
therein,
IT IS on this 19th day of February 2020,
ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Hammer’s R&R is adopted in full; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed without prejudice; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall TERMINATE docket entry number 29 and
CLOSE THIS CASE.
